Experienced Representation for Onewheel Accidents in California

Onewheels are single-wheeled, self-balancing electric skateboards. They are manufactured by California-based Future Motion, Inc. and have been linked to a number of serious injuries and even deaths. Lawsuits allege that Onewheels are unsafe and should be recalled.

WHAT MAKES ONEWHEELS UNSAFE?

Multiple injuries and deaths have been reported from Onewheel riders nationwide. It is alleged that the self-balancing electric skateboard has a tendency to stop while in motion. The sudden impact ejects riders from the device. It is also reported that the transportation product can send individuals into a dangerous nosedive.

In November 2022, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued an urgent warning to consumers to stop using all Onewheel models. 

Named models included in the CPSC warning included the:

  • Onewheel
  • Onewheel+
  • Onewheel+ XR
  • Onewheel Pint
  • Onewheel Pint X
  • Onewheel GT

It is believed that these products contain a dangerous design defect that can cause serious injury or death to riders. Consumers were urged to discontinue use of the device and not to resell or donate the skateboard in an effort to prevent future harm to others.

HAS THE ONEWHEEL BEEN RECALLED?

Despite multiple reports of injuries and deaths and the urgent warning from the CPSC, the Onewheel has not been recalled. The only recall of the product involved the company’s voluntary recall of the front footpads on the Onewheel GT. 

According to the CPSC, Future Motion, Inc. “has refused to agree to an acceptable recall of the product.” Onewheel devices remain on the market despite their ejection hazard. 

WHAT KINDS OF INJURIES OCCUR IN ONEWHEEL ACCIDENTS?

Injuries related to Onewheel pushback and nosedive accidents can range in severity. While some are minor, some are severe or even life-threatening. In several cases, the injuries have proven fatal.

Types of injuries people experience in Onewheel accidents:

  • Broken bones
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Paralysis
  • Upper- and lower-body fractures
  • Ligament damage
  • Friction burns
  • Bruises and lacerations
  • Concussions

If you suffered any kind of injury while riding on the Onewheel, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to act quickly, as you may only have a limited amount of time to file a claim. 

WHAT IS ALLEGED AGAINST THE ONEWHEEL MANUFACTURER?

Lawsuits filed against Onewheel manufacturer Future Motion, Inc. allege that the Santa Cruz-based company knew or should have known that the product was dangerous and defective.

Allegations include that the device contains not only a design and manufacturing defect but also a marketing defect. Despite receiving multiple reports of injuries, Future Motion continued to maintain that their product was safe. 

It is believed that Future Motion failed to adequately warn consumers about the potential risk of injury or death and, in fact, downplayed those risks. The Onewheel manufacturer continues to deny that there is anything hazardous about the device. 

HAVE THERE BEEN DEATHS RELATED TO THE ONEWHEEL?

As reported by the CPSC, at least four people have died in Onewheel Accidents. Unfortunately, it is believed that the number of people injured or killed in these accidents is potentially much higher. 

TYPES OF DAMAGES THAT CAN BE RECOVERED

If you are injured in a Onewheel accident, you may be eligible for damages. An attorney can help evaluate your claim to determine how much your case is worth. 

Damages in a Onewheel accident case may include compensation for your:

  • Pain and suffering
